Fides Zenk

Fides holds the NeuroNA Chair in Epigenomics of Neurodevelopmental disorders at EPFL, where she leads a research group studying chromatin regulation in human brain development, aging, and neurodegenerative disease. She trained in molecular biology and epigenetics and established her independent laboratory focusing on single-cell epigenomic technologies and human stem cell–derived brain models. Her work has been supported by competitive international funding and has contributed to fundamental insights into epigenetic regulation of the human brain and early embryonic development.
